My next 2K DE list


I know it's been a while guys and I apologize for my tardiness.  There's a lot of game systems that I play now and all of them need my attention!  Check out this army list that I came up with today.

1992
22 kp

HQ:
Asdrubael Vect = 240

TROOP:
9x Wyches (Raider NS, Hekatrix/Agnoizer/BP) = 205
5x Warrior (Raider NS, Blaster) = 130
5x Warrior (Raider NS, Blaster) = 130
5x Warrior (Raider NS, Blaster) = 130
5x Warrior (Raider NS, Blaster) = 130
5x Warrior (Raider NS, Blaster) = 130

ELITE:
4x Trueborn (Venom NS/SC, 4x Blaster) = 183
4x Trueborn (Venom NS/SC, 4x Blaster) = 183
3x Trueborn (Venom NS/SC, 3x Blaster) = 156

HEAVY:
Ravager (NS/FF) = 125
Ravager (NS/FF) = 125
Ravager (NS/FF) = 125

15 Opening volley lances with 48" threat
16 Blasters with 24" threat range, 1 Blast Pistol
32 Total Lance weapons
36 Splinter Cannon shots

I'm proud to say that I've tried many of the things that I said I would.. all except the Voidraven Bomber.  I am also proud to confirm that the king of the special slot is the 3-4x Trueborn w/ Blasters in Venom w/ NS + extra Splinter Cannon.  That unit is so solid it's not even funny.  It has excellent anti-tank, threat range, low-profile, has NS/FF, and can put out an excellent amount of poisoned shots from 48" threat.

Wracks are good, but they lack the firepower that I desire in my Dark Eldar.  My Kabal is all about wrecking face and doing good damage and I don't find Wracks filling that role.  The T4 and FNP is amazing and I will miss that, but something about them just isn't me.  Besides, I built a bunch of Warriors and I think the extra Blaster shot is nice.

What do you guys think about the list?  It's very MSU and boasts a lot of vehicles.  The small warrior size gives me a very small presence on the board and most armies don't feel wasting an entire squads worth of shooting on 5 dudes.  That means they can run around and score or shoot off their blaster.  The entire army is extremely fast and puts out a lot of firepower on the opening turn.  Once the vehicles push up 12" and take their opening shots (which is 36 Poisoned shots and 15 Dark Lances), the next round is followed up by 2x as many S8 AP2 Lance weapons.

Another alteration in the list would be dropping the 4x Trueborn to 3x w/ Blasters and dropping a Ravager for a Voidraven Bomber.  This will give me S9 Lance presence and some missiles to shoot at horde armies.  Thoughts?
